Underwhelming Sunday Lunch Experience

long wait poor service
I booked a table for Sunday lunch and was told the kitchen was running behind. Drinks arrived quickly, but we waited nearly an hour for our food. My beef was far from rare, and my husband's medium-rare was fine. I complained, and they offered a new meal, but I had already eaten my vegetables. The service staff seemed young and lacked proper training (this created some issues).

amazing stay!

spacious room comfortable bed super clean bathroom perfectly cooked duck
i had a lovely, spacious superior king room. the king bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was super clean. the food was AMAZING!!! i particularly enjoyed the perfectly cooked duck during dinner. the breakfast the next morning was also great. everything about this visit showcased what hospitality should be.
the only slight downside was the wait time for our sunday lunch, about 50 minutes. however, the restaurant was busy.

Adequate stay

comfortable room good facilities missing starters undercooked beef
The room was nice and neat, with good facilities. Staff members were helpful and attentive. Everything was very warm. The breakfast was lovely.
The kitchen forgot three starters when the meals came out. Family members were then eating separately, not good. Beef wasn't cooked as asked. It was more cooked than medium rare.

The room decor seemed a bit dated. also, the service was slow. I waited an eternity for someone to take my order at lunch, about 30 minutes, actually. honestly, i considered just leaving without any lunch at all.
